Conditionals in PHP

The question I'm working on is: Check if each student has a GPA of 4.0. If the student has a GPA of 4.0, use the student's name variable to display "NAME made the Honor Roll". If not, use the variable to display "NAME has a GPA of GPA". The error is: Bummer! Make sure you use the proper case

index.php 
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentOneGPA ==4.0){
 echo $studentOneName." "."made the Honor Roll";
}

else{
      echo $studentOneName.""."has a GPA of". $studentOneGPA;
}

if ($studentTwoGPA ==4.0){
 echo $studentTwoName." "."made the Honor Roll";
}

else{
      echo $studentTwoName." "."has a GPA of". $studentTwoGPA;
}


?>

Hi, It seems that this challenge is picky on white space, so i would suggest to remove those extra quates " " and add some spaces in string where needed. For example.

<?php
//Place your code below this comment
// Check First Student
if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0){
    echo $studentOneName . " made the Honor Roll";
} else{
    echo $studentOneName . " has a GPA of ". $studentOneGPA;
}
// Check Second Student
...
?>
